One&Only has debuted in Asia with a brand new resort – called One&Only Desaru Coast – completed with a signature Chenot spa, a result of a partnership between the hotel group and Chenot, the medical health and wellness retreat operator by Henri Chenot.
The bespoke spa concept has been exclusively developed for One&Only and offers a curated menu built around four pillars - Sport and Physical Activities, Emotional Wellbeing, Nutrition, and Aesthetics - all designed to work in synergy to reset and strengthen body and mind.
Henri Chenot has over 50 years’ experience in preventative and regenerative treatments and is responsible for developing the Chenot Method, a programme that aims to protect the body from damage, the build-up of toxins and premature ageing. The method comprises an amalgamation of treatments and nutritional advice and blends the principles of Chinese healing with advanced western medicine.
Nestled amongst the jungle setting, the spa is home to seven single treatment rooms, along with one for couples, a VIP room and a Pedi:Mani:Cure Studio by Bastien Gonzalez.
Facilities also include a cooling pool, steamroom and relaxation pavilion, as well as a fitness studio, Pilates studio and yoga pavilion overlooking the ocean, providing an inspiring space for meditation classes.
One, two and three-day programmes include tailored nutritional menus, fitness schedules, targeted spa treatments and stress-relieving activities designed according to individual needs.
With design by Australia’s Kerry Hill Architects, the new tropical retreat has been conceived as a modern take on the traditional Malaysian ‘kampung’ or village.
“One&Only Desaru Coast offers a sanctuary, a welcome respite for those in need of a change of pace,” said Jerome Colson, resort GM.
“Guests can take a breath, relax and recharge in their own private enclave of nature or focus on their wellbeing at our signature Chenot Spa.”
Located on the south-eastern shoreline of Malaysia, the 42-suite resort sits among 128 acres of wild flora and is flanked by a secluded coastline, offering uninterrupted views of the ocean and rainforest. Accommodation options also include two grand suites and an exclusive four-bedroom villa.
All boast private plunge pools, abundant indoor and outdoor living spaces and thoughtful Malaysian-inspired design features.
Looking ahead, there are plans for the resort to be upgraded with a private homes community, with homes available to own or rent.
